I am departing tomorrow morning from the CYCA at 10 am and planning to arrive at the RMYC Broken Bay tomorrow afternoon..
Would anyone like to forecast my arrive time given the current and wind forecast?
In planning the course how will the tide and current effect me?
I will be sailing my Jeanneau 349 with two crew on board.
Many thanks

Around 4 hours John
I reckon twodogs is about right. The distance from North Head to Barrenjoey is 18 nautical miles.
With a 14-15 knot southerly you should be able to average 7 knots or even better if you can pole out the jib and run square. So that's, say, two and a half hours head to head.
From CYCA, it will take you less than an hour to get clear of the heads and once inside Pittwater, at least another hour to get to RMYC at Newport.
Add 30 minutes for fluffing around and that's five hours.
If you are heading back on Sunday, it looks like you will have a tail wind then too!

Thanks Scotty.
What are you up to this weekend?
I am sitting in front of your place at Jibbon
ok, lets start a book on this,
Assume 10am departure ill put you down for a 2.17 tie up.
winner take all ... f.....all that is 
Wth favourable prevailing winds it should be an easy run, as the others have suggested, pretty easy to give a time!
wind ahead certainly makes for a longer trip.
But it's a lovely run, plenty to see and you get s great sense of achievement at the end, and a good thirst too!
Enjoy Bundeena boy!

Thank you to all those who gave me travelling advice.
It was much appreciated.
After weighing up all the pros and cons of where to stay for far too long, I chose to berth at the RMYC Broken Bay.
They offer five sailing staff to help you tie up, should you need it.
We took a little longer to sail from CYCA to Broken Bay than most suggested, but still arrived in time to have a few cold ones in the bar before dinner.
Two of my closest friends were on board and one wanted the cooking experience.
He choose to roast butterfly lamb leg with a very crusty salted outer skin.
The best meal I have ever had on a boat.
It was a major celebration for me after receiving great new about my health.
I have a common problem that one in five men are now diagnosed with, prostate cancer.
I had disturbing developments about a month ago, but my latest news is, after an operation I will be 99% free of the disease.
We celebrated with one of the better bottles of Grange (2010).
Yesterday, sailing back to the CYCA was just perfect with calm seas, sunshine, and 12 to15 knot NNE winds .
It was a wonderful time away with two true friends.
